Of course I explained that this behavior is inappropriate! I explained that boyfriends and girlfriends are for when they are older and it's not a game for little girls to play. That if mommy and daddy hold hands or hug, it's because they're married.

Quoting banana-bear:

Well they had to see the behavior somewhere!! What did you say? Did you explain that it was inappropriate?

That's my concern I don't want to go too into detail because of their ages but I don't know what else to do. I can't go to my family with this, because they'll say I have to correct this behavior with beatings

yikes, it's a tender thing to try to understand such a thing at a young age and it doesn't help that society is oversexed now a days

They've spent quite some time with 1 of their cousins who is very boy crazy. She has put the last 2 twilight movies on for them (that show sex scenes, even though I've told her mom it's not appropriate for them to see those types of things) and I've heard this cousin ramble on about who she thinks is hot etc (FYI she's 12) so my girls could've been influenced by her.

And oldest DD goes to a good school but I know that we have a family shelter near us and those kids are on the same school bus with DD

Quoting Anonymous:

:( oh my. What was your response? Maybe the older picked it up from a friend at school?

I'm just afraid. I don't want my daughters to be "those" girls, who are inappropriate or vulgar. Or grow up to be promiscuous from a young age.

Anytime I question DD1 about something serious, she gets nervous and starts crying so I can never get anything out of her
